We could cycle simply EU Rockford, yet keep US Rockford online 24/7? That means that at peak time (late week and weekends) there are two EU servers and one US server, otherwise one EU and one US server. It's clear that despite suggestions and so on most people still prefer EU 33x for whatever reason, so unless that starts to change this option might make sense.

If this is still being discussed they why talk about it in public?

If hope this doesn't mean that the EU server cycles between v33x and Rockford, let's not forget that this is mostly a EU community. 

As nevy said, the US server was made to get more players from the US in the US timezone why get the EU server involved with this? this would get us less players than more players.

No, it means that the EU 33x server would be up permanently as it is now, as would the US Rockford server. At times of high EU demand, EU Rockford would then come up. It's not an ideal solution, but until we have more players on those servers we have to direct traffic a little. Players can vote with where they go, but the vast majority choose to stay on EU 33x.

Or we can give the US Rockford only (seeing as EU Rockford has been doing terrible), so EU players can increase population on the US server if they want to play on a more populated server. US players have been doing this for years and we have not complained half as much as EU players have been compaining about US ping servers. Just let them deal with it and have both parts of the community come together.

Just slippin it in here.

You'd prefer it if we had no community input?

The same argument can be made for the US rockford though? I've seen far more people playing Rockford EU at peak times on weekends, than people playing rockford US at the US peak-time.

And also has the US playerbase increased? Is there some figures we could have about the number of new players on the US server, and how often they play now?

I'm all for supporting a US server, I mean I can't play the US server for 10 mins with that ping, so I understand the yankees argument, but I feel like the arguments being given have no real basis.

It actually was increasing, again when the server was up to date and bug free. However due to the map change that was made, the US Server was left to collect dust because who wants to play on a broken map?

It'd really help if the U.S. server was actually taken care of. We lost a lot of people starting out because no one cared to fix reported bugs on Rockford until the EU Rockford went up....

Once we resolve the host issue, it needs to be top priority.

I'm debating on taking the initiative and only playing on US Rockford when it comes back up. If it shows at least a few players, more will trickle in. But nobody wants to play on an empty server.
